"a superhuman AI that can brainwash people over text" is the dumbest thing I've read this year. It's incredible to me that this guy has some kind of cult following among people who should know better.

The real answer is that people are lazy and as soon as a security barrier forces them to do work, they want to tear down the barrier. It doesn't take a superhuman AI, it just takes a government employee using their personal email because it's easier. There's been a million MCP "security issues" because they're accepting untrusted, unverifiable inputs and acting with lots of permissions.
